Answer:

See explanation

2x^2+5x+3=(x+1)(2x+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Make sure that the trinomial is written in the correct order - the trinomial must be written in descending order from highest power to lowest power. In you case, the trinomial must be written as

2x^2+5x+3

2. Decide if the three terms have anything in common, called the greatest common factor or GCF. If so, factor out the GCF. Do not forget to include the GCF as part of your final answer.

In your case, coefficients 2, 5 and 3 do not have common factors, so go to the next step.

3. Multiply the leading coefficient and the constant, that is multiply the first and last numbers together:

2\cdot 3=6

4. List all of the factors from step 3 and decide which combination of numbers will combine to get the number next to x:

6=1\cdot 6\\ \\ \bf{6=2\cdot 3}

5. After choosing the correct pair of numbers, you must give each number a sign so that when they are combined they will equal the number next to x and also multiply to equal the number found in Step 3:

2+3=5

6. Rewrite the original problem with four terms by splitting the middle term into the two numbers chosen in step 5:

2x^2+5x+3=2x^2+2x+3x+3

7. Now that the problem is written with four terms, you can factor by grouping:

2x^2 +2x+3x+3=(2x^2+2x)+(3x+3)=2x(x+1)+3(x+1)=(x+1)(2x+3)

I need help this question?
Masja [62]

Answer:

Correct answer:  F. graph F or x ∈  |-5 ; 5| (including endpoints)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us first define the absolute value:

| x |  = 1. { x with condition x ≥ 0 }

    or 2. { - x with condition x < 0 }

This is a linear inequality

1.  x ≤ 5  ∧  x ≥ 0   ⇒   0 ≤ x ≤ 5  or interval x ∈  |0 ; 5| (including endpoints)

2. - x ≤ 5  when we multiply both sides of the equation by -1 we get:

x ≥ -5 ∧ x < 0  ⇒  -5  ≤ x < 0 or interval x ∈  |-5 ; 0) (including -5)

The solution to this linear inequality is the union of these two intervals:

x ∈  |-5 ; 0) ∪ |0 ; 5|  ⇒ x ∈ |-5 ; 5| (including endpoints)

x ∈ |-5 ; 5| (including endpoints)

God is with you!!!

Find the difference:
VLD [36.1K]

Answer: The difference cannot be found because the indices of the radicals are not the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the difference you need to subtract the radicals. But it is important ot remember the following: To make the subtraction of radicals, the indices and the radicand must be the same.

In this case you have these radicals:

\sqrt[ {8ab}^{3} ]{{ac}^{2} }- \sqrt[ {14ab}^{3}]{{ac}^{2} }

You can observe that the radicands are the same, but their indices are not the same.

Therefore, since the indices are different you cannot subtract these radicals.
